<scp>MicroRNA</scp> and <scp>dsRNA</scp> targeting chitin synthase A reveal a great potential for pest management of the hemipteran insect <i>Nilaparvata lugens</i>

Abstract

Ingested miR-2703 seems to be a good option for killing N. lugens nymphs, while NlCHSA may be a promising target for RNAi-based pest management. These findings provide important evidence for applications of small non-coding RNAs (snRNAs) in insect pest management. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
